There's no way this is more expensive. You can probably grow algae on your ass after not showering for a week. This is badass and should be researched more

[tremolomasta]

how on earth would this be expensive... you can grow algae in a glass cup. it is DEFINITELY a cheap alternative. Where are you getting this data? obviously not credible. read up on algae. The only process that could be potentially expensive is separating the ethanol product from algae. otherwise, it is EXTREMELY cheap. PVC piping, water, CO2. Simple if you actually researched it.

@davepamn Oil at $50 a barrel? no way, crude oil is depleting at a steady 6% annual rate, plus insurance premiums have risen (some $15 per barrel goes to insurance, to cover BP oil accident, ship spills etc), you will never see $50 again,, more likely to see $250

If this ethanol or like regular fuel. Ethanol totally sucks for your engine,

[davepamn]

What is the market?

[davepamn]

Will oil prices per barrel drop to $50 a barrel? If that happens will biodiesel be able to survive and capture its return on investment?

[circusboy90210]

@davepamn price should be more like $0.75 input cost are nothing, sunlight & co2.

@dinomuhovic~ There is a massive conspiracy going on with Crude Oil. For the past 5 years they have been telling us that Crude oil is slowly running out. This is absolute BS!. Its all part of the Human de-population agenda (genocide). They tell u its running out.... therefore raising the price (when the price of a transport-fuel goes up, so does everything else pretty much)..... so the poor people in the poorer nations will simply starve or die due to illness CAUSED by not being able to feed

[davepamn]

When will I be able to buy a gallion of biodiesel made from algae for $2?

@UnclePadula90 It is badass and is being researhed more trust me,and it even grows in the dark too.Co2 and water(rainwater/dirtywater/sal­twater and old water really will do)why do you think Obama is trashing BP.and trying to take it over??
